the mantle is the part under the crust made up of nickel and iron moving about causing volcanoes whereas the core is solid because it is so tightly packed the minerals and metals have very constricted movement. the mantle is also the largest part of the Earth. the core has 2 sections the inner core and outer core
Between the thin rocky crust and inner core, in order from upper to lower, are the upper mantle, mantle, and outer core.
Gutenburg Discontinuity
There are several layers between the outer core and the crust mainly combined into one and called the Mantle.
crust and core
The layer of the Earth above the core is called the mantle. It is located between the core and the Earth's crust. The mantle is composed of hot, semi-solid rock.
The mantle is a layer of hot,solid rock beneath the crust and a core is the central part of Earth.
There are differences in chemistry (the mantle is mainly ultramafic rock--the outer core is metallic), in phase (the mantle is predominately solid--the outer core is liquid), in depth (the outer core is closer to the center of the Earth), and in density (the outer core is more dense).
The chemical layer of the Earth known as the mantle lies between the crust and the core.
The boundary of mantle and core are called Gutenberg Discontinuity
There are a number of similarities between mantle and crust. They are both found below the surface of they earth and the main components in both are rocks.
The boundary between the mantle and the core is called the core-mantle boundary and also The Gutenberg Discontinuity which marks the upper boundary of the D'' (D Double Prime) layer.
Between the thin rocky crust and inner core, in order from upper to lower, are the upper mantle, mantle, and outer core.
Gutenburg Discontinuity
area between the mantle and the core where hot rock is forced into the crust
The Earth is made up thus: Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust. We live on the crust, with semi-plastic molten rock forming much of the mantle beneath us.
There are several layers between the outer core and the crust mainly combined into one and called the Mantle.
